They are fully fleece lined, very warm and waterproof, apart from the opening you put your hands in ;D.

I would be interested in a decent pair of gloves, I have had lots and they have all been rubbish. Most of the time I just go to homebase and buy a few pairs of the better gardening gloves. When they get too wet I switch to another pair and hang the old pair out to dry.

I've tried a few pairs of glove the unger ones last only weeks and make your hands stink, the sealskins lasted a couple of months a bit better butdidnt keep my hands warm they did fall foul to getting ripped on the pole clamps and strangly enough the best i have found are simply cotton gloves £1 a pair and over them I put std red rubber builders gloves

Those sealskins are rubbish  :-\. They leak in between fingers and are hopeless for wfp.

Unger ones really do make your hands stink. :-X

Im gonna give the 5mm gloves a go that Matt recommended.

These are the gloves but it looks like the price has increased slightly.

I have tried the Unger, and other, neoprene gloves. When using a pole, they don't last very long, and they are very hard work getting on and off. In addition, the outsides are usually wet, therefore wet anything you touch, paperwork, PDA, etc.

Maybe I got a dud pair  :-\. But they also tore to shreds when using them for WFP........as do most gloves.

Looking forward to trying out my 5mm scuba gloves.

Those hygeine supplies gloves look the business.

I think they are the same type those King Crab fisherman use in extreme weather.
